DEFINITY ECS is designed for fast, efficient, and reliable movement and man-
agement of data as well as voice information. All information trans mitted through
the system is carried in a digital format. Analog signals — both voice and data —
are converted to digital form before being switched. Analog data compatible with
data modules and fax machines can be transmitted through DEFINITY ECS at
speeds up to 28.8 kbps. Digital data can be transmitted at speeds up to 64 kbps
per channel.

Data Communications Capabilities

Whether your data environment is asynchronous, synchronous, or a com bination
of both, DEFINITY ECS’s data-switching capabilities can greatly enhance your
company’s data communications. Using DEFINITY ECS to switch your company’s
data has many possible benefits:
■It can greatly reduce the number of terminals and amount of cabling
required.
■It enables employees to gain needed access to host computers,
applications, and databases.
■It provides connectivity between different data environments that your
company may have — asynchronous, synchronous, and pers onal
computer environments.
■The jacks, twisted-pair wiring, and optical fiber used by the premises
distribution system contribute to easy installations and easy moves.
■Voice and data are integrated and transmitted over the same wires;
employees can exchange data and discuss it over the phone at the same
time.
